NHL DFS Top Stacks Tool
How to Use the NHL DFS Top Stacks Tool
When making decisions about what players to include in your lineups you should consider more than just projection. You should consider upside as well as how highly owned they will be. In the top stacks tool we do just that! We run thousands of simulations on every slate. For that slate we tell you how often each line ends up as one of the top 2 stacks on the slate. You can compare those probabilities to their ownership to get a good approximation if the public likes the line as well as our simulations do. If a line’s ownership is below these metrics then they are probably a good play and you can gain an advantage on the field when they perform well and vice versa.
